What does an Average Diamond sell for? <\/p>\n

\nLet’s find out…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nTo determine what an “Average<\/strong>” Diamond is, we’ll need to look at what the averages are for the 4 C’s first, which is Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. <\/p>\n

\nSo here we go…<\/p>\n

Cut<\/h2>\n

\nThe Average Cut is “Good<\/strong>” (Versus “Excellent” or “Very Good”). “Good” falls in the middle of the GIA Cut Grades (Below that are “Fair” and “Poor”). <\/p>\n

\nA “Good” Cut will give you a good amount of Brilliance and Sparkle. It should look pretty, catch the light, and be much more affordable in price.<\/p>\n

Color<\/h2>\n

\nThe Average Color is G, H, I<\/strong>, which is in the Near Colorless range. G or H is considered a Fine White Diamond Color, and most of the times it will look white and not show any traces of Yellow. I Color may look a little bit darker but most people still can’t see any color in this stone. J Color and down will start to show colors of Yellow, Brown, or even Gray. <\/p>\n

Clarity<\/h2>\n

\nThe average Clarity is a SI1 Clarity<\/strong>. SI1 Clarity is a wonderful Clarity to have because all of the Inclusions inside the stone are microscopic only. Which means if you want to see the flaws inside the stone you’ll need 10 times magnification, like a Jeweler’s Loupe<\/a>\"\" or a Microscope<\/a>\"\". <\/p>\n

\nIn other words, your fianc\u00e9 won’t be looking at her diamond and seeing a huge black spot<\/strong>, and that’s good!!!<\/p>\n

Carat Weight<\/h2>\n

\nThe Average Carat Weight is 33 Points<\/strong>, or a third of a Carat. This may not sound like a big Carat Weight, and it’s not, but it is the average weight across the country. The “Dream<\/strong>” Carat Weight is actually One Full Carat (1.00 CT), but that usually about five or six times the price as well. It’s a big difference in appearance, and your pocketbook!<\/p>\n

Diamond Shape<\/h2>\n

\nThe Average Shape of a Diamond is Round<\/strong>. It’s the most popular shape there is, but it’s also the most expensive Cut. So if you want to save a couple bucks look into Fancy Cut Shapes like the Princess Cut<\/a>, Oval Cut<\/a>, Radiant Cut<\/a> and Cushion Cut<\/a>. They could actually save you THOUSANDS<\/strong> (Depending on the actual Carat Weight you buy)!<\/p>\n

Mountings<\/h2>\n

\nThe average mounting is a 14 Karat White Gold<\/strong> (Tiffany style) ring. It’s classic, elegant, and never goes out of style! See below…<\/p>\n

\n\"What's<\/p>\n

Price<\/h2>\n

\nAn average Round Diamond of this quality and style will probably cost you around: $500<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nAnd, just for fun, I went to James Allen<\/a>, who specializes in Wonderful Diamonds and Deals, and this is what I found…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
